KIANGSU PROVINCE, CHINA
Or_V1
25X1
1. This report describes increases in coastal defense activity
in KiancTsu Province, China observed on photography of November 192
5X1
The report provides the location and a brief descrip-
tion of the coastal defense sites and coastal defense-associated
facilities in Kiangsu Province. The report contains text, a table,
a map, and a photograph.
2. The largest number of field artillery (FA) pieces observed
in a coastal defense role along the coast of Kiangsu Province was
identified on photography of November 1972. The majority of the
FA pieces were parked in support areas at coastal defense sites.
3. Ninety-one FA pieces were observed at 20 coastal defense
(CD) sites along the coast of Kiangsu Province, China (Figure 1)
on photography (Table 1). Previously, only 18 25X1
FA pieces had been observed at four CD sites. In addition to the
increased number of FA pieces, five dummy tanks (Figure 2) and ten
coastal defense-related installations were newly identified.
4. Forty-five CD sites have been identified in Kiangsu
Province. There are six additional facilities associated with
coastal defense activity. Thirty of the 45 CD sites have their
own support facilities, and the remaining 15 consist of firing
positions only. Most of the 91 FA pieces were observed in support
areas.
